24c tyres on Flo30 rims - very wide, so perfectly happy with (and rode sections of, last time) un-sealed roads. Happier on tarmac, that said! |

That's really helpful - thanks, I've followed him and will be using his rides as a base. I'm staying just the other side of the Boulder-Denver turnpike from where he starts, more or less.

Mt Evans Hill Climb is July 25th (http://bicyclerace.com/on-the-bike/registration/). You should be acclimated by then. Getting there is the challenge, I guess, but Uber might work.

Can I take 128 then 93 from Broomfield to get to the start of this without being killed by a vehicle?

Bugger. What would be a route which would see me arrive alive?
Also - tubs or clinchers for the front range? |

To be factually correct, you'd have at least a 65% chance of not being run over.
If it were me, I'd do this. Sounds confusing, but it's not too bad, and all are relatively well-traveled bike roads: Better way is to take 128 to Simms South Right on 100th Follow that around (quick jog right then left onto Alkire) Right on 86th Left on Indiana Right on 82nd Left on Quaker Right on 64th Left on Easley Right on 60th Left onto Hwy 93 Start the climb up Golden Gate This assumes you are going UP Golden Gate and down Coal Creek. Much safer, in my opinion. Coal creek is safer traveling 40 mph downhill than 9 mph uphill. Exiting Coal Creek dumps you onto 72 which turns into 86th and you are back to line 4 above. Shazaam. |

Great - thanks! I'll be flying this afternoon, putting the bike together tonight, and hopefully riding tomorrow.
Going from this: To this: I hope tubulars won't be a mistake - what's the worst that can happen? Double puncture, bears, mountain lions, no mobile telephone reception... |

Enjoy that short steep kicker section before the downhill into Golden Gate Canyon State Park. It's a 'stand and grind' short climb. It's very pretty up there this year. We've had a lot of spring/summer rain, so it's much greener than normal. |
